Substitute command output inside @[Include(flags: …)] ?

[shdown]

The LLVM example substitutes a command output inside @[Link(ldflags: …)], but not inside @[Include(flags: …)]. Is there a way to do the latter? If not, it would be nice to have it.

This works since ldflags is passed directly to the shell. If you want to interpolate shell output into @[Include] you'll want to use macros

[shdown]

Could you please give an example of how to do this? Seems to be impossible.

@[Include(..., flags: "{{`echo -Dfoo`}}")

should work

[shdown]

No, it does not: running crystal_lib on

@[Include(
    "llvm-c/Core.h",
    "llvm-c/BitReader.h",
    flags: "{{`llvm-config-7 --cflags`}}",
    prefix: %w(LLVM_ LLVM)
)]
lib LibLLVM_C
end

results in

error: unsupported option '--cflags`}}'
warning: {{`llvm-config-7: 'linker' input unused [-Wunused-command-line-argument]
input.c:1:10: fatal error: 'llvm-c/Core.h' file not found
lib LibLLVM_C
end

yeah, seems like this doesn't work :(
